You have the power to get energy from your body, even when you feel exhausted and empty.
Below you will find strategies that you can use to get the energy flowing through your body again:
1 Rest When Your Body Tells You to Rest
It’s important to listen to your body’s cues when to rest, rather than just pushing on and ending up crashing hard. When in doubt: rest. When you listen to your body and let it rest when it indicates it needs rest, you build energy for the long term.
2 Cherish the silence Silence
has enormous healing power. Make it a priority to build moments of silence into your day. Really allow yourself to feel the silence around you and allow it into your body.
3 Practice breathing with your whole body
Take time every day to breathe consciously. Feel your breathing in your body and how far it reaches into your body. With each breath you feel the air moving further into your body (until it feels like every cell in your body is breathing).

Be aware of the way you care for your body. Nurture your body by choosing food that is good for you. Note that food gives your body energy and can heal it.
6 Discover the power of gentle and healing movement
By adding calm movement to your day you can better connect with your body and yourself. A quiet walk, stretching or yoga, for example, can ensure that the energy in your body starts flowing again. Try different movements and find out what feels right for you.
7 Be kind to yourself
We get energy from love and compassion. Therefore, be kind to yourself when you are tired and treat yourself well. Be kind with your thoughts and feelings as well as in your actions towards yourself. Feel the love and compassion in your heart.

8 Stop what drains you
You will immediately feel lighter and more alive when you choose to stop what drains the energy from you. Be aware of how your body reacts to certain things, people or places in your life. Ask yourself honestly whether they give you energy or whether they cost you energy.
9 Cherish what inspires you
The feeling that you get inspiration from something gives you energy. Therefore, decide for yourself what inspires you. It may take time to find something that inspires you, but when you do, it will give you a lot of energy.
10 Be picky with your time
Learn to protect your time. It is extremely precious and important. Choose wisely how to spend your time and make sure you leave enough time in your schedule to take care of yourself. Don’t be too easy to give away your time.
